This poem by Dannie Abse reminds me of 'Wild Oats' by Larkin. I think this is because they both write about the relationships and the troubles that they face in them. However, I feel a lot more connected to what Abse writes than what I do to Larkin as the was Abse writes is more emotive.
Abse writes about arguments with his wife and how they have affected him. The way that he writes about them is very emotive and we can tell how he feels about them. We can see that this has affected him a lot as he writes,. 'nothing was happening until it happened,' which implies that it was a big event in his life. Also, the fact that he refers back to the cold war - a big event - implies how catastrophic he felt the argument was.
